THE
EMERGENCE OF HINDUISM FROM CHRISTIANITY
|
Modern Hinduism is of recent
origin. It emerged out of syncretic synthesis of
Christianity as introduced by St.Thomas and Gnosticism that
came from Syria. Are there evidences? Hinduism
(with idols and its temples) appear only later than the second
century and in Kerala only after eighth century AD. Who
was Mahabali? What is the Kalabhra
Interregnum?

| ISOVASYA UPANISHAD: THE DOCTRINE OF THE
IMMANENCE OF JESUS |
Isovasya
Upanshad is one of the early Upansihads which introduced the
concept of monothiesm in the Indian Religious Scenario.
It was the first time the name Isa - coming from the proper
name "Jesus" came to mean the Supreme God - a new concept in
India at that time. This Upanishad was probably written
at a time when the Gnostics were the main contenders of the
Thomas Christianity and speak of how Avidya and Vidya
(ignorance and gnosis both lead to death. Isavasya
Upanishad is probably one of the earliest Christian document
in India. |

PURUSHA SUKTHAM: The fullnes of Him. |

the Vaishanavite layer. This study tries to
identify these layers. |

Dr. Alexander

HINDUISM
–What Really
Happened in
India. |
An in depth analysis of the history
of the basic Hindu concepts to ascertain their origin.
It is shown that Hindu Gods of Prajapathy, Vishnu, Siva,
Pillayar, Krishna etc are actually an indigenized form of
Christ derived from syncretic influence of Gnosticism of
Manichaean, Greek, and modern Theosophical
movements. This claim is revolutionary and we do
have enough evidence to support this proposal.
